Yes I believe I heard the young mother and/or her boyfriend say that the first husband was abusive. That well may be the reason the boys were removed as that would be a dangerous environment for them to be raised in. Now if that were the only reason then why hasnt she gotten them back since she and her ex are divorced??? Like I say there is way more here that meets the eye. Also most complaints to child protection workers are from family. Maybe her family saw her beaten during this pregnancy with the new boyfriend and called it in which is why they are involved. Lots of unanswered questions here.
